    June 7, 2025

    The Cemetery of Anchors (Cemitério das Âncoras) behind Praia do Barril commemorates the region's former tuna fishing industry, which was abandoned in 1969 due to a lack of fish. The rusty anchors, reportedly 248 in number, were used to secure the often kilometer-long nets in the sea. The "capital" of tuna fishing at that time was nearby Tavira.
